Our Goal
To raise money for kids with cancer in New Zealand.
It was 12 months ago a committee was formed for the South Island Tractor Trek for Cancer Kids 2010 with the hope they would get at least 20 tractors to join the trek for this worthwhile cause. The committee have spent countless hours working closely with Transit NZ, local councils, DOC, private landowners and Google Earth to get to this stage.
Today entries are now closed with a total of 50 enthusiasts from all over New Zealand eager to travel some of the South Islands spectacular back country roads, travelling around 2500 kilometres at 25 kms an hour and over 100 hours sitting on a tractor.
ALL PARTICIPANTS ARE FUNDING THEIR OWN TRIP. ALL MONIES RAISED WILL GO TO THE CHILD CANCER FOUNDATION.
